Sorry to hear that Rob, I know how painful it is, and how frustrating life can be with one useless arm! I'm sure you'll regain full use in time though. I've dislocated mine plenty of times when I was young, mostly on footy fields and ski slopes. It's probably the worst pain I've ever experienced, but it disappeared as soon as it popped back in. In the end I figured out how to do it myself on the field, mainly because I wouldn't let the medicos near me! However it got so loose in the end I needed a shoulder reconstruction, and another one at the age of 40 when I tried to play footy again! Pain and muscle wastage was horrendous after those ops, but each time I regained full use and strength in time, so I'm sure your's will come good too.
